What a post-racial person sounds like: Okay, it's been a week since Obama won the election. I've heard more than enough sentimental speeches by the misty-eyed, but the most sensible comment was made by a black high school kid I overhead eating lunch with his Hispanic buddies: "What do I care if a black man is President now? I think it's wrong, all these black people voting for Obama because he's black. Just like it would be wrong if you voted for a Mexican because he was Mexican."
Out of the mouth of babes.
